Read: Numbers 6:22-27

The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. —Numbers 6:25

Bible in a Year:
Nehemiah 10-11; Acts 4:1-22

A recent study that I read concluded that smiling can be good for your health. Research shows that smiling slows down the heart and reduces stress.

But smiling isn’t just good for you; a genuine smile blesses those on the receiving end as well. Without saying a word, it can tell others that you like them and that you are pleased with them. A smile can hug someone with love without giving them even the slightest touch.

Life does not always give us a reason to smile. But when we see a heartfelt smile on a child’s face or through aged wrinkles, our hearts are encouraged.

Smiles are also a hint of the image of God in us. In the ancient blessing recorded in the book of Numbers we get an indication that God “smiles”: “The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace” (Num. 6:25-26). Those words are a Hebrew idiom for the favor of God on a person’s life, asking God to smile on His children.

So today, remember that you are loved by God, and that He is pleased to be gracious to you and to shine His face upon you.

Lord, may my life be so pleasing to You that You are
pleased to have Your face shine on me. And as You
graciously smile on my life, may I find someone
today with whom I can share Your love through a smile.

Your smile could be a message of cheer from God to a needy soul.

Insight

In showering the people with His favor, God instructed the high priest to bestow on the people the blessing found in Numbers 6:24-26. In the New Living Translation, “The Lord make His face shine upon you” (v.25) is rendered as “The Lord smile on you.” The Lord smiling and “lift[ing] up His countenance” (v.26) expresses that the people have God’s special attention and approval. This benediction, pronounced by many pastors at the end of church services today, affirms that God provides for and protects His people, assuring us of His presence, pardon, and peace. The Hebrew concept of peace (shalom) is all-embracing and includes the concepts of completeness, security, health, wealth, tranquility, contentment, friendship, and peace with God and man.

You Are Adventurous

When it comes to travel, you're looking for more of a once in a lifetime experience. You want to put yourself to the test.
You are big on thrills and more extreme activities. You like to get your heart racing when you're on vacation.

You aren't just a thrill seeker; you're also a nature lover. It revives you to spend time in the great outdoors.
You travel light and are equally happy traveling solo or with friends. You are all about the journey and the adventure.

Permission to come aboard granted, Sir!

Thanks for the Star Spangled Banner! A beautiful rendition of this stirring tune and what an interesting instrument.

It’s a piano fixed up to play Ampico piano rolls. Rachmaninov recorded a lot of his music on Ampico rolls so that people with player pianos could hear the master at work in their own homes. This was before decent quality recordings were available.
